Figs 1, 23

Bryopharsos tritaleum Quate, 1996: 41 . Type locality: Costa Rica, Heredia, Estación Biológica La Selva (INBio).

Diagnosis

Male

Eye bridge with four facet rows; wing 2.2 times as long as wide; ejaculatory apodeme ovoid in ventral view; gonocoxal apodeme with a spine-shaped projection (Fig. 23A); surstyli with three tenacula (Fig. 23B); aedeagus straight with a pointed apex (Fig. 23A). This species is similar to B. asymmetricum sp. nov. They can be easily differentiated by the number of facet rows in the eye bridge (four in B. tritaleum; five in B. asymmetricum), and the length of the ejaculatory apodeme (about as long as the aedeagus in B. tritaleum; shorter than the aedeagus in B. asymmetricum).
